Students today need to be:

  • Networked and Connected – Not just in the sense of computer/cellphone/iPad but networked into what others are thinking and doing

  • Collaborative – Students will need to be able to work effectively with others to explore and create.

  • Self-Motivated Life Long Learners - And in conjunction, students must be able to locate and evaluate information they want to learn about

  • Global Citizens –They will need to be able to work with people from around the world, working to understand others, and create global solutions to global problems.

  • Good Stewards of the Environment – Electronic communications reduce the need for paper consumption and textbook printing.

  • Experts in Digital Communication – Basic reading and writing skills are no longer enough - video, audio, and the ability to digitally create (beyond PowerPoint)
